Enables solution providers to bundle hardware,
software and services into a single monthly subscription
Tech Data (Nasdaq: TECD) today announced the launch of
Tech-as-a-Service (TaaS), its new, simple, and scalable offering
that enables solution providers to bundle hardware, software and
services into a single monthly subscription. TaaS allows customers
to scale their services up or down throughout the course of their
subscription term, providing the ability to adjust to changing
business conditions. TaaS, available immediately in the U.S. and
during the first quarter of 2018 in Canada, combines Tech Data’s
end-to-end technology portfolio and logistics capabilities with its
unique expertise and specialized services.
“Through this new end-to-end model, our customers can enable
their clients to grow in next-generation technologies without a
large capital outlay, by allowing end customers to pay a monthly
subscription,” said Linda Rendleman, vice president of Product
Marketing, Endpoint Solutions at Tech Data. “Best of all, our
channel partners are able to share cutting-edge technologies that
their customers need to run their businesses—while leveraging Tech
Data’s specialized services or delivering their own—all under one
subscription.”
Specific benefits to channel partners of Tech Data’s TaaS
offering include:
- Expedited cash flow relief:
up-front, in-full payments significantly reduce the amount of cash
days
- Accelerated refresh cycle:
enhances and extends customer loyalty through automatic
re-engagement upon subscription end to refresh devices or renew
subscription;
- Expanded capabilities: delivers
specialized services that help drive productivity and decrease
costs
Industry analyst firm IDC predicts that 35 percent of Fortune
1000 companies will have a Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) agreement in
place by 20191. Through its TaaS offering to channel partners, end
customers have the ability to deploy only what’s needed, increase
worker productivity, reduce IT and procurement workload and cut
costs by bundling hardware and services.
“DaaS has the potential to upend the corporate device chain with
far-reaching impact across the organization,” said Linn Huang,
research director at IDC. “Promises of cost flexibility and
savings, IT workload reduction and accelerated refresh cadence
should resonate well with finance, IT and end users,
respectively.”
